Andrew Mark Dreher (born 27 March 1961) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Collingwood in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
A Willaura recruit, Dreher played for Collingwood from 1979 to 1982.[1]
Three of Dreher's his first four appearances with Collingwood came in the 1979 finals series.[2] After debuting in round 20, Dreher played in a qualifying final, semi final and preliminary final.[2] Collingwood won the preliminary final, over North Melbourne, but Dreher lost his place for the grand final to Stan Magro, who was returning from suspension.[2] [3]
Dreher played just two games in 1980, when he was troubled by a back injury.[2] [4]
During the 1981 VFL season Dreher was almost part of the trade that saw Warwick Irwin go from Fitzroy to Collingwood.[5] Dreher and teammate Des Herbert, along with over $60,000, were to be given to Collingwood, but he was replaced in the deal by Leigh Carlson.[5]
Against Carlton at Victoria Park in the third round of the 1982, Dreher broke a bone in his neck and although he played out the game he was out of the side with the injury until round 15.[2] [4] His last appearance for Collingwood was their round 20 loss to Melbourne, his seventh game of the season.[2]
He went to West Adelaide in 1983 and was a centre half-back in their premiership team that year.[6] [7]
